    Are you totally honest with your feelings? Do you tell everyone your raw emotions when you feel its necessary, even if those feelings are hurtful to the person? Or do you try to disguise your true emotions towards other people, like sugar coating them or just neglecting to tell them at all?

    I wasn't always honest with mine, and I hid some of them from people. But recently I've been pretty open about my feelings towards the people in my life, and I share them with them in the most raw and revealing way that I can think of. It's made me feel tremendously better, because I just figure "What's the worse that can happen? Now they know."
     
    I'm really blunt when it comes to that, so yeah. Sugar coating is almost as bad as lying.
     
    Sometimes for me, it's really hard to actually be truthful to my feelings. Especially when it comes to liking someone whom you liked for a long time. I always hide them, no matter what. I'm so scared as to how the other person would react because I've dumped feelings before and I've had people treat me like ♥♥♥♥ afterwards. Most of the time my raw (and truthful) emotions are out. I only sugarcoat my own feelings when I'm super anxious and scared of telling. I have to work my way up to the point where I'm confident and ready to tell the person how I feel (or what I think) of them.
     
    Yeah I am, I'm very honest. If I don't like somebody, then they'll know it. If I think somebody is being a moron then I'll tell them.

    I don't sugar coat stuff but at the same time I try not to be mean, if I keep something from somebody then it's because they can't handle it.
     
    I never really tell anyone what I'm really feeling. It's not that I don't have people to tell it's just that I feel like it'll just be a burden to the other person. Even when I really want to tell people things I end up downplaying or sugarcoating my feelings without realizing it. I'm really shy and introverted mostly so I don't really like putting myself out there that much in terms of talking about my emotions and stuff.
     
    I'm honest with my feelings towards others and pretty much just honest with others in general, unless it's family. Most of my family members don't like me because of the things I like so pretty much all of my life we've thrown veiled punches at each other. Most of my friends I tell my raw emotions to. And as The Doctor said, if I don't like someone or if they're annoying me I'll make sure they know. Which is why I don't have many friends/get in trouble a lot because of fights.
     
    It depends on the situation for me. If I receive a present I don't like, I'll still act like I like it. However, when I'm reviewing a story or adding my thoughts in a debate, I can be pretty blunt. I guess it's just a rule of thumb on being rude, or being constructive. When you receive a gift you don't like, it's kind of mean to just say you hate it. I mean, they did just buy you something and then give it to you free of charge. When people are looking for critique though, that's the time not to sugarcoat things, because you're helping no one when you skimp out on a few details to save someone's feelings.
     
    I've been told that I'm very blunt... So that should answer the question.
     
    Depends. If it's just expressing my opinion, no matter what it's about, I'll do that with anyone once I know them a bit. But opening up to others though about things on my mind? I'm that honest with very few people, if any at the moment
     
    Oh yeah, at least on the internet where I can be my true self with no interference with my parents, I am always 110% honest. Sometimes I am a little too honest, tbh.
     
    I'm very truthful with my feelings. I'm not ashamed of showing my emotions, though I often try to hide negative emotions to protect those around me. For some reason, I'm also sensitive to other people's emotions. It's a weird thing that I've had since childhood.
     
    I don't think anyone's completely honest about what they're feeling, taking lies of omission into account. Some feelings are things you just need to keep to yourself. If I wore my emotions on my sleeve, I'd probably regularly get called a pig by some of the more attractive women I meet. Things like that, and some others, those are things that are private and other people really have no business knowing what I'm really thinking.

    I also try not to show negativity unless it's called for. It's unhelpful in a lot of situations. If I'm driving in my car by myself, though, I don't hide it. I feel sorry for whatever fly has to listen to the string of profanity I unleash when someone tries to cut me off.
     
    No, no at all, I want my emotions inside me and nowhere else, I can't trust anyone because some years ago I was a really open and sensible person, until some idiot made fun of my emotions makig me finish by a psychologist for 5 months! What a good person, uh?
    And also, I hate when someone try to console me if I have a problem or something, I can't stand the disinterest of those people who just want my confidence because I'm good with the computer, so if they have a trouble with it can call me to fix it, so why should I be honest with these idiots?
     
    Honesty is one of the most important things for a good friend/relationship to me
    Thus obviously I always try to express my feelings as good as I can and tell others that something is bugging me, since hiding either kinds of feelings would just get bad results;
    Hiding good ones would probably make me appear pretty cold and feelingless
    And hiding bad ones is just unrealistic since everybody has a bad moment/day occasionally
    As well I often try to express things as good as possible because due to my affectional and expressionistic issues that come from the schizophrenia it's some form of therapy for me, as in, the more I intentionally feel the more I'm starting to feel subconsciously, like a normal human being
     
    After being emotionally pushed around from suffering through my mother's emotions and feelings growing up, I tend to hide my feelings when I'm around others, just so that they don't suffer. I mean, I may hint that I feel upset or angry at something, but I don't usually talk about my feelings just so that I don't make others around me upset and/or angry at me.
     
    So, basically asking us if we're blunt or like to beat around the bush, I'm assuming? Based on the reactions I get from my friends sometimes when I tell them things that they probably would prefer not to hear, I'm definitely part of the blunt group, and it's always been that way. I expect people to be honest with me regarding their feelings so I do the same. Some situations may not be best suited for straight-forwardness, but that's how I personally live life.
     
    I am so confused... like my feelings towards people about them or just my feelings about anything?

    If it's the first thing then no I'm never completely honest about that. I don't think I have ever told anyone how I actually feel about them or what I actually think of them. I either sort of tell them or just lie about the whole thing. I mean if you offended me I'd probably bring it up, but anything else is just like why am I going out of my way to tell you this?

    If you mean the latter then def no. I'll share my opinion and whatnot, but I really don't want to divulge into raw emotions. Idk I feel sick at the thought of people knowing how I truly feel. Especially people I deal with everyday. I'd rather find a stranger on the street and tell them and then never see them again.
     
    I will compulsively lie about my feelings. Sometimes it's habit, sometimes it's just jest, most of the time I'm trying to talk my way out of something.
    I am always totally honest with myself however. There's really no point trying to trick myself into not feeling sad when I'm really only prolonging it.
